Napolitano Answers One Question on Extremist Report

The administration that promised to be the most open and accessible administration showed how open and accessible they are.

For an interview with MSNBC, hardly hostile to the administration, Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano demanded that host Joe Scarborough ask only one question about the controversial report calling right-wingers and returning soldiers a national threat.

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski: “Now, we should be clear, they only wanted one question.”

Scarborough: “Yeah. So this morning, I got a call that she [Janet Napolitano] was going to be on the show and they said we could only ask one question …”

Brzezinski: “That was the agreement.”

It's a sad state off affairs that ducking questions is not a partisan issue. Politicians of all stripes are all-too-often remiss to discuss their actions. But, Obama told us he would be different.

It's a good thing that we elected Mr. Hope and Change so that he could deliver on his promise of unprecedented level of openness in Government. Ms. Napolitano apparently, didn't get that memo.
